Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court

Law schools are accepting many more of these women. The pool of potential judges will inevitably include her intelectual zombies.

Prejudiced Bigot who disagrees with Judge Marshall.

Time - no - far past time top arrest some judges.

Who is that said, "There are no absolutes!" A point of view does not mean the same thing for every one... It is one piece of their personality... And people can have the same point of view for completely different reasons... Some based on sexual insecurity, others on religious grounds, others on health grounds, others because of a personal experience that colors their judgement... IMHO...

No different than Chris Wallace on FNS. Only I think his was a slip of the biased tongue. When interviewing Gephardt he asked about his change of stance on abortions and asked if it was the same bigots.

"Taking all of this available information into account, the Legislature could rationally conclude that a family environment with married opposite-sex parents remains the optimal social structure in which to bear children, and that the raising of children by same-sex couples, who by definition cannot be the two sole biological parents of a child and cannot provide children with a parental authority figure of each gender, presents an alternative structure for child rearing that has not yet proved itself beyond reasonable scientific dispute to be as optimal as the biologically based marriage norm. ... Working from the assumption that a recognition of same-sex marriages will increase the number of children experiencing this alternative, the Legislature could conceivably conclude that declining to recognize same-sex marriages remains prudent until empirical questions about its impact on the upbringing of children are resolved. ...

That's the most crucial paragraph in the excerpts.
I have taken, whenever I am challenged on my opposition to equating homosexual liaisons with marriage, to stating rather forcefully: "Marriage is for the children, stupid!"
For some reason, this tends to shut dims/leftists up, at least temporarily. I guess all those long years of Clintonian iterations of the root mantras from which I derived my rebuttal has intilled in them an insuperable Pavlovian reflex of submission.

If the Massachusetts State Legislature had balls, it would nix her salary and then move to impeach her and the Gang Of Four who seek to usurp the Legislature's place in making the laws.

Ah, s'cuse me, but isn't the very definition of a "bigot" a person who considers his own views are unquestionably right, and any belief or opinion opposed to or differing from them is unreasonable or wicked?

I would say the judge here is the one who is bigoted!

[tuckrdout]

Sorry, hate to point this out, but this is what happens when women are in charge.....

Homosexual agenda Ping List: more about "gay" marriage and its judicial advocates in Massachusetts.

Let me know if you want on or off the ping list. Just ping me!

[ladyinred]

She is so PC and afraid of bigots that she refuses to wear her robes, right?

[Lancey Howard]

Interesting that it was a split decision.
Massachusetts, the home of Ted Kennedy, Barney Frank, and fisting-for-third-graders, is such a hopeless toilet you just figure nobody there has any decency, but that is not entirely fair. Clearly, there are still a few decent people left there, but then you wonder why?

By the way, is this sick scumbag Margaret Marshall a lifetime appointment? How old is she?

[yoe]

Oh my! Howard Dean says he is one; a bigot; says he wants southerners to know he is one of them...I am a bigot...that’s what he says.........well that's what he said yesterday.
